“Dr. Harris defines what it means to be a trailblazer and role model for those
in healthcare leadership positions,” Clay Marsh, M.D., vice president and executive
dean of health sciences, said. “As a West Virginian, she is also the shining
example of a strong advocate for public health policy, for fellow physicians
and for the patient.”
A native of Bluefield, W.Va., Harris formerly served as director of health services for Atlanta/Fulton County, Ga. and as medical director for the Fulton County Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities.
She currently maintains a private psychiatry practice in the area and consults
with both public and private organizations on health services delivery and emerging
trends in practice and health policy.
Harris is a 1992 graduate of the School of Medicine and also holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in counseling psychology from WVU.
